Connecticut Copper+3 holed copper

Colonial Copper Zeus · Sep 13, 2009

CKK got out to a new site today . The landowners were about as interested in the history of their land than I saw ever before. They remember an old house that was torn down from above their existing home and the wife called me back after I initially got ahold of them to seek permission. She said they would love for us to tell them anything that could be found concerning their land. Kyle worked his magic and found out that a Revolutionary war vet built his house there. 1775. We handed them all the research and we shot the bull for quite a while and they said "YOU guys are welcome to detect any part of our land that you want to." Off we go. Wasn't 10 minutes of swinging and I got a 66 vdi on the Vision which turned out to be the holed copper. I've found them before and it seems that there isn't a true consensus as to why they were holed like that. Maybe a childs wizzer toy,maybe a homemade button. Possible dress weight which I just now thought of. An hour later I found the 1865 perfect shape 2 center. Only my second one. At the bottom of a hill above the old houses iron patch I got to thinking that maybe in the colonial era some children might have been sled riding so I left the iron patch and at the bottom of the hill I got a great 77 vdi with the Low frequency green line predominant which indicates to me copper or silver. It was the Connecticut post colonial bust facing left copper. A nice crotal bell and a flat button as big as a penny and fat as a fat boy injun rounded out the relics today. Can't wait to return next week. Thanks everyone
Chris

Nice 2 center Chris, amazing how so many of them are found in very good looking shape, glad your coin is so outstanding. Now about that 3 holed copper, LOL, first 3 holer I have seen posted. :hello2:

Conn not showing enough detail in photo to get a variety, at least not easily, but may look later! Congrats on another super day!

Chris,
Way to go on the great finds from the new site. It's a big relief when the owners are as excited as you are to see what can be found. Makes for a great time for both parties.
It's already been said, but that 2 center is FANTASTIC!!!! :icon_thumleft:

Congrats again to the three amigos. :occasion14:

Those two cent pieces come out looking pretty good as Iv'e said in the past, but that one is exceptional.

Colonial Copper Zeus · Sep 14, 2009

To everyone who likes the 2 center..I was amazed when I pulled it out of the ground. I wonder why so many of them are in such condition. My wife and her sister both commented that they like it the best.

hogge · Sep 14, 2009

Chris that 2 center is incredible! I love the CT. too. It appears as though the Ct. may have enough detail left to get a date and Var. "Plop...Plop....Fizzz.....Fizzzz" ( That's only if it were mine)

. Congrats on those stellar finds!!! The Hoggester.
